Episode OverviewThe Articulate Fly's Central PA Fishing Report returns with George Costa, manager at TCO Fly Shop in State College, Pennsylvania, delivering a timely early spring conditions update for central Pennsylvania's trout waters. This episode captures the region at a pivotal seasonal inflection point: after a long cold winter, rising water temperatures and the first notable olive hatches signal the transition from winter holding patterns to active spring feeding. Spring Creek, Penns Creek and the surrounding Centre County limestone streams are the focal waters, with wild trout as the primary target. George covers the full tactical picture for this particular window — the simultaneous emergence of blue-winged olives (sizes 18–22) and little black stoneflies, streamers in off-color rising water and the nymph game poised to accelerate through the coming months. Anglers will also find timely context on the grannom hatch timeline (late March into early April) and conditions outlook as a warming trend arrives on the heels of meaningful rainfall. George also previews upcoming classes at TCO and his impending Andros bonefish trip, providing a glimpse of the shop's spring momentum.Key TakeawaysHow to read rising, off-color spring water conditions in Central PA as a trigger for switching to streamers in search of larger fish.Why small olives (sizes 18–22) and little black stoneflies (sizes 14–16) are the first dry fly opportunities worth targeting as winter transitions to spring.When to expect the grannom hatch on Central PA limestone streams — historically the last week of March into the first week of April, water and air temps permitting.How to structure your spring approach around three concurrent methods: dry flies during hatch windows, nymphing in the column as nymphs begin migrating, and streamers in stained water or on overcast days.Why a warming trend following a rain event is one of the best short-term conditions setups for early spring trout activity in Central PA.Techniques & Gear CoveredGeorge outlines three productive approaches for this early spring window. Dry fly fishing with small olives (sizes 18–22) and little black stonefly patterns (sizes 14–16) is the headline, with fish actively rising once the warmth triggers hatch activity. Nymphing gets an extended emphasis — George notes that nymphs are beginning to move around, setting up what he expects will be a productive two-month run for subsurface presentations. Streamer fishing in off-color, elevated water is flagged as the big-fish opportunity of the moment, with George specifically recommending streamers on cloudier days when visibility is reduced. No specific fly brands or rod/reel gear is discussed beyond fly pattern sizing, keeping the focus on approach and conditions reading.Locations & SpeciesThe episode centers on Central Pennsylvania's limestone stream corridor — Spring Creek, Penns Creek and the broader Centre County watershed around State College. These are primarily wild brown trout fisheries, and the discussion assumes year-round catch-and-release water or designated regulated sections rather than stocked water. Conditions at recording time show streams rising with slight color following recent rainfall, with a warming trend (high 60s) forecast for the following week. The grannom hatch discussion also points toward Penns Creek as a traditional anchor for the late-March/early-April caddis emergence that serves as Central PA's equivalent of the iconic Mother's Day caddis events found on other Mid-Atlantic and Southern Appalachian tailwaters.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat dry flies should I be fishing in Central PA during early spring?Blue-winged olives in sizes 18–22 are the primary hatch driver right now, with little black stoneflies in sizes 14–16 providing additional topwater opportunity. George recommends keeping dries accessible as hatches are actively going off and fish are beginning to rise after a long winter.When does the grannom hatch happen on Central PA streams?George places the traditional grannom hatch in the last week of March through the first week of April, with timing dependent on water and air temperatures. He notes this event is still roughly two and a half to three weeks out from the time of recording, but characterizes it as right around the corner.How should I adjust tactics when Central PA streams are running high and off-color?Rising, off-color water is prime streamer water in Central PA, especially on overcast days. George recommends targeting bigger fish with streamer presentations in those conditions rather than dry fly or nymph presentations.How long will the nymph bite be productive this spring?George expects strong nymphing conditions to last through the next couple of months as insects ramp up activity and fish become increasingly aggressive after winter. Nymphs are beginning to move around in the column now, making this an excellent time to commit to subsurface presentations.Is George's Andros bonefish trip relevant to the Central PA fishing audience?While the bonefish trip is a brief aside, it provides useful context around saltwater fly fishing planning — specifically that wind is a constant variable in the Bahamas, and experienced anglers build their casting and guide communication strategies around that assumption rather than hoping for calm days.Related ContentS8, Ep 4 – Chilly Waters and Crafty Flies: A New Year Fishing Report with George CostaS7, Ep 36 – Central PA Fishing Report with George Costa of TCO Fly ShopS6, Ep 30 – Central Pennsylvania Fishing Report with TCO Fly ShopS6, Ep 48 – Rain or Shine: Central PA's Fishing Report with TCO Fly ShopS7, Ep 49 – Rain, Hatches and Cicadas: A Central PA Fishing Update with George CostaConnect with Our GuestFollow TCO on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Welcome to Day 2812 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2812 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 118:10-18 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2812 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2812 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: Surrounded but Secure – The Strong Right Arm of the Lord. In our previous episode, we took our first steps into the magnificent landscape of Psalm One Hundred Eighteen, focusing on verses one through nine. We heard the massive, joyful choir of Israel, the priests, and all who fear the Lord, declaring that His faithful love endures forever. We also listened to the deeply personal testimony of a leader who was trapped in a narrow, suffocating place, but who was miraculously rescued, and brought into the wide-open spaces of God's grace. That powerful realization led us to conclude that it is infinitely better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put our trust in earthly princes. Today, we are moving forward on our trail, trekking through the second movement of this grand, festive song. We will be exploring Psalm One Hundred Eighteen, verses ten through eighteen, in the New Living Translation. As we open our Bibles, we must keep the historical and theological setting firmly in our minds. This is the very climax of the Egyptian Hallel, the collection of psalms sung during the Passover. These are the very words that echoed in the mind of Jesus Christ, as He left the Upper Room, and walked into the dark, terrifying olive grove of Gethsemane. He knew that He was about to be surrounded by hostile forces, both human and spiritual. Yet, He sang this psalm of absolute, unshakable victory. In these verses, the psalmist paints a vivid, almost overwhelming picture of being entirely encircled by enemies. But instead of despair, we hear a drumbeat of triumph. We witness the cosmic authority of Yahweh, the mighty power of His right arm, and the profound paradox of facing severe discipline, yet being spared from death. Let us lean in, and listen to the battle cry of the redeemed. Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses ten through twelve. Though hostile nations surrounded me, I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord. Yes, they surrounded and attacked me, but I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord. They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a crackling fire. But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord. The imagery here is intense, claustrophobic, and highly kinetic. The psalmist says, three separate times, that he was "surrounded." He was completely encircled, with no natural means of escape. But notice who is surrounding him: "hostile nations." To truly understand the weight of this, we must put on our Ancient Israelite, Divine Council worldview lenses, as taught by Dr. Michael S. Heiser. In the ancient world, a conflict between nations was never merely a political dispute; it was a cosmic battle. According to Deuteronomy Chapter Thirty-Two, verses eight and nine, the nations of the world had been disinherited by Yahweh at the Tower of Babel, and placed under the authority of lesser, rebel spiritual beings. Israel, however, remained Yahweh's personal portion. Therefore, when the "hostile nations" surround the Israelite king, this is a coordinated attack by the dark, spiritual principalities of the unseen world. They are attempting to snuff out the light of God's kingdom on earth. The psalmist uses two vivid, terrifying metaphors to describe this onslaught. First, he says, "They swarmed around me like bees." If you have ever accidentally disturbed a beehive, you know the absolute, blinding panic of that moment. Bees attack from every possible angle; they are relentless, chaotic, and their stings produce compounding agony. Second, he says, "They blazed against me like a crackling fire." In the original Hebrew, this is specifically described as a fire of thornbushes. Dry thorns burn with incredible, explosive heat, and a blinding, intimidating flash. But what happens to a fire of thorns? It flashes hot, it makes a lot of terrifying noise, but it burns out almost instantly. It has no lasting fuel. This is exactly how the psalmist views the hostile, demonic forces of the world. They swarm, they sting, and they blaze with intimidating fury. But they have no staying power against the Creator. Three times, the psalmist responds to the threat with a rhythmic, defiant battle cry: "I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord." Literally, the Hebrew text says, "In the Name of Yahweh, I cut them off." He does not rely on his own military strategy, his own armor, or his own physical prowess. He wields the Name of the Most High God. When Jesus faced the cross, He was swarmed by the hostility of Rome, the religious leaders, and the rebel spirits of the unseen realm. Yet, through His willing sacrifice, He wielded the authority of the Lord, cutting off the power of sin and death forever. Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses thirteen through fourteen. My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord rescued me. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. The psalmist moves from the broad, chaotic swarm of the nations, to a deeply personal, targeted attack. "My enemies did their best to kill me." The literal translation is incredibly violent: "You pushed me violently, so that I was falling." He is speaking directly to the adversary, acknowledging the sheer, brute force of the assault. He was pushed to the very brink; he was teetering on the edge of the precipice. "But the Lord rescued me." Yahweh reached out His hand, caught His servant mid-fall, and pulled him back from the edge of the abyss. Verse fourteen is a direct, deliberate quotation of an older, highly famous song. "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory." These are the exact words sung by Moses and the Israelites on the shores of the Red Sea, in Exodus Chapter Fifteen, verse two, right after God drowned the Egyptian army. By quoting the Song of the Sea, the psalmist connects his present, personal deliverance to the great, historical deliverance of the Exodus. Because this is the Passover festival, the connection is absolutely brilliant. The God who split the sea, and crushed the Egyptian gods, is the exact same God who catches you when the enemy pushes you over the edge. He is our strength when we are weak; He is our song when we have lost our voice; and He is our ultimate, eternal salvation. Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses fifteen through sixteen. Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! The scene shifts from the lonely, personal battlefield, to the vibrant, joyful encampment of the righteous. Imagine walking through the tents of the Israelites. You do not hear the moans of the defeated, or the fearful whispers of the oppressed. You hear the deafening, celebratory roar of victory. And what is the lyric of their song? They are singing about the "strong right arm of the Lord." In biblical poetry, the "right arm" or "right hand" is a powerful anthropomorphism—a way of describing God's invisible attributes using human physical terms. The right arm represents kinetic energy, military might, and decisive, executing authority. It is the hand that holds the sword; it is the arm that shatters the enemy. Three times, the congregation sings about this mighty arm. It has "done glorious things." It is "raised in triumph." This is a picture of the Divine Warrior, standing victorious on the cosmic battlefield, His arm lifted high, signaling to the entire universe that the forces of chaos have been decisively crushed. When the early church looked back at the resurrection of Jesus Christ, they realized they were witnessing the ultimate manifestation of the strong right arm of the Lord. God reached down into the grave, shattered the gates of death, and raised His Son in triumph, securing eternal victory for the camp of the godly. Psalm One Hundred Eighteen: verses seventeen through eighteen. I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done. The Lord has punished me severely, but he did not let me die. We conclude today's trek with a profoundly moving, and incredibly honest, declaration. The psalmist has survived the swarm. He has been caught from the fall. He has heard the victory song in the camp. And now, he makes a solemn vow regarding his future. "I will not die; instead, I will live." This is not just a biological...
Learn about scoliosis rehab with Lauren Ferrante, PT, DPT, OCS. Explore home exercises, manual therapies, and AT tools for scoliosis. Q: What are the most important home exercises for scoliosis? A: Key home exercises focus on spinal mobility, especially for those who sit frequently. Cat-cows and thoracic rotation are crucial. Depending on comfort level, core activation exercises like supine marches or dead-bug isometrics are beneficial. When supine, tactile cues help maintain spinal symmetry. Bridges or modified side planks are good starting points, with progression as needed. Q: Which scoliosis treatment method is best for high school age, considering the Schroth Method helps the 10-15 age group? A: The Schroth Method can be used for older populations, but it is generally less effective for high school age individuals compared to younger ones. For this age group, focusing on functional core strengthening can also be beneficial. Q: Are Pilates or yoga safe and recommended for young athletes with scoliosis? A: Yes, Pilates and yoga are highly recommended for individuals with scoliosis, including young athletes. These activities promote continued mobility and strength, which are vital for managing scoliosis. The most important aspect is to find an activity they enjoy and consistently engage in it. Q: What manual therapies are effective for scoliosis, and is dry needling helpful? A: Effective manual therapies include thoracic gapping and rib mobilizations, particularly in a side-lying position to encourage rib expansion. The specific therapy depends on the patient’s individual needs and curve patterns. Dry needling is not frequently utilized for scoliosis treatment according to the provided information. Q: How often are lordotic curves seen in individuals with thoracic scoliosis? A: Lordotic curves are quite common in individuals with thoracic scoliosis. If a person has a mid-thoracic curve, their body often adjusts by developing a compensatory lordotic curve. Therefore, this presentation is observed frequently. Q: How do current trends, such as phone and gaming use, contribute to setbacks or overcorrection in scoliosis? A: The impact of phone and gaming trends on scoliosis setbacks depends on individual patient motivation and activity levels. For athletes, it’s often less of an issue, as it’s unrealistic to maintain one position for extended periods. For minimally active individuals, parental encouragement to move around every hour, regardless of the activity, is important. Q: How often are active populations braced for scoliosis? A: Braces for scoliosis are typically prescribed by pediatric orthopedic specialists. For junior high and high school-aged children, as they mature, the need for braces often decreases, and they may not be in them very much. Q: What are the three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers (ATs) regarding scoliosis? A: The three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers when addressing scoliosis are observation for signs of scoliosis, implementing exercises on a mat or table, and utilizing a wall for exercises with minimal equipment.

Glyphosate is a common ingredient in herbicides, including Bayer/Monsanto's infamous weedkiller: Round Up. The latter is one of the world's most widely used herbicides with various applications including: weed control in agriculture, vegetation control, as a crop desiccant, in consumer home gardens and lawns, and in massive aerial sprayings to control illegal crops. It is also used extensively in home gardens and lawns, landscape, ornamental nursery, forestry, roadside and turf management. Join Kelly Ryerson as she reveals truths about glyphosate, advocated by Trump and RFK Jr in a recent Executive Order. She tells us what we need to do about it, and how we can create the better world we seek. While glyphosate continues to be a planetary health emergency, we as a collective, can catalyze change by making informed consumer choices and advocating against chemical products and farming practices that cause irreparable harm. While several plaintiffs have recently succeeded in winning massive verdicts in court, to redress harms they suffered from Roundup, it will take many more of us to fully eradicate not only Glyphosate, but all toxic chemicals for the sake of planetary health.

Fast Relief: How to Get Rid of Pests Quickly in Jasper, Georgia If there is one thing I've learned in all my years serving our neighbors here in Jasper and Pickens County, it's this: nobody likes a “slow” solution when they've just seen a cockroach scurry under the fridge or found a line of ants marching toward the sugar bowl. When you have a pest problem, you want them gone yesterday. While true, long-term protection takes a steady hand and a solid plan, there are things you can do right now to speed up the process. Here is how we get the job done fast—and how you can help. Identify the “Target” Immediately You can’t win a fight if you don’t know who you’re swinging at. A treatment for sugar ants won’t do a lick of good against Carpenter ants. Check the evidence: Is it droppings? Chewed wires? Snap a photo: If you see a bug, grab your phone and take a picture. Sending that to a professional is the fastest way to get the right chemicals in the right places. Cut Off the “Buffet Line” Pests aren’t in your home for the decor; they're there for the snacks. To get rid of them fast, you have to make your home the most boring place on earth for a bug. Wipe the counters: Even a tiny drop of soda is a feast for a colony. Dry it up: Fix that leaky pipe under the sink. Most pests, especially roaches and silverfish, are looking for water more than food. Seal the bins: Keep your trash in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Clear the Perimeter Sometimes the fastest way to clear the inside is to stop the “reinforcements” coming from the outside. Here in North Georgia, we have plenty of woods and brush. Move the woodpile: If you have firewood stacked against the house, you're basically inviting termites and spiders to move in. Move it at least 20 feet away. Trim the hedges: If branches are touching your roof or siding, they are acting as a highway for ants and squirrels. Use the Right Tools (Don’t Over-Spray!) I see folks go to the big-box store and buy five different “bug bombs.” Truth be told, those often just scatter the pests deeper into your walls. Baiting is better than spraying: For many pests, a professional-grade bait is faster because the bugs take the “poison” back to the nest. Professional Strength: The products we use at Faith Pest Control aren’t the same as what's on the shelf at the hardware store. Ours are designed to knock down populations on contact while providing a barrier that lasts. Why “Fast” Needs a Professional Touch You can swat a fly fast, but stopping an infestation requires a bit of science and a lot of experience. At Faith Pest Control, we don't just “spray and pray.” We look at the entry points, the nesting habits, and the specific biology of the pests here in Jasper to make sure they leave—and stay gone. “We treat your home like it’s our own, with the honesty and integrity you expect from a neighbor.” If you're seeing uninvited guests in your kitchen or hearing scratching in the attic, don’t wait for it to get worse. Give us a call. We'll get out there, size up the situation, and get your peace of mind restored fast.The post Fast Relief: How to Get Rid of Pests Quickly in Jasper, Georgia first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Hear the second edition of a new segment titled “40 Indiana guitar pioneers that every Hoosier should know.” Over the next year, we'll be sharing the music and history of Indiana guitarists who made notable contributions to music. Some of these musicians are world-famous; some you may not have heard of. This is not a ranked list, and it won't be presented in any particular order. On this edition, learn about the Gary, Indiana guitarist Donald Kinsey, who played with artists including Bob Marley, Albert King and Peter Tosh. Donald Kinsey was born May 12, 1953, in Gary. He was one of three sons of Lester “Big Daddy” Kinsey, a respected Chicago blues guitarist, singer, and harmonica player who migrated from Mississippi to Gary in the mid-20th century. Music was part of Donald's life from an early age. He began playing guitar at five years old, learning chords from his father and performing in church and at local gigs. By his early teens, he had earned the nickname “B.B. King Jr.” In 1972, Donald's professional career took a major leap when he was recruited to play with Albert King, one of the most influential blues guitarists of all time. Kinsey toured extensively with King, appearing at major festivals including Wattstax and the Montreux Jazz Festival. He also recorded several albums with King, including I Wanna Get Funky and Blues at Sunrise. This was a formative period that helped Kinsey refine his technique and stage presence while reaching audiences beyond the Midwest club circuit. In the mid-1970s, Kinsey left the Albert King band to join the psychedelic rock group White Lightnin'. The band's self-titled debut album was released by Island Records in 1975. Kinsey's connection to Island Records would prove significant. The label was co-founded in Jamaica by Chris Blackwell in 1959, and Blackwell introduced Kinsey to a rising young star on the label: Bob Marley. Kinsey's career soon took an unexpected turn toward reggae. From 1975 to 1976 he toured with Bob Marley and the Wailers, appearing on Marley's classic 1976 album Rastaman Vibration and numerous live recordings. Kinsey also worked extensively with Peter Tosh, contributing to several landmark albums including Legalize It, Equal Rights, Bush Doctor, and Mama Africa. He also recorded with Burning Spear, playing guitar on the albums Dry & Heavy and Marcus' Children. Kinsey was with Marley during one of the most harrowing moments in reggae history—the attempted assassination of Marley in Kingston in December 1976, when gunmen opened fire at Marley's home. After Marley's death in 1981, Kinsey recorded a tribute titled “Song for Bob.” In 1984, Kinsey reunited with his brothers Ralph and Kenneth and their father Lester to form The Kinsey Report, a band blending electric blues, rock, and roots music. The group recorded a series of albums beginning with Edge of the City in 1987 and became known for its powerful live performances, earning critical acclaim on the blues circuit and touring across the United States and internationally. Kinsey remained active into the 2020s, performing with both the Kinsey Report and the Wailers band. Donald Kinsey died February 6, 2024, in Merrillville at age 70, just weeks after the death of his older brother Ralph.

Dry eyes making your day uncomfortable?We've got you covered. In this episode, we're breaking down easy, effective tips you can start today to relieve dryness, irritation, and blurry vision caused by dry eye.Tune in for quick fixes that can bring lasting comfort to your eyes — especially if you're on screens all day.#DryEyeRelief #EyeHealth #OcularSurfaceDisease #VisionaryEyeDoctors
There have been times in my life when I've lost the fire for God. That same hunger I once had to pray felt nonexistent. Reading the scriptures no longer clicked for me, and it felt like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube in my mind. Everything I knew about building my relationship with God just felt dry.You too might have felt a similar experience or are going through that right now. I want to share with you the most insightful things the Lord has taught me through these dry seasons, the importance they play in your walk with the Lord, and how to get that fire back.Why Do Dry Seasons Happen?Dry seasons aren't usually a "lightning bolt" event; they are often a slow leak.In my life, the dryness came when I got so caught up in wanting to create and help other people that I forgot to help myself. I was so busy trying to make an impact in the Kingdom that I neglected the King.I neglected my Helper (the Holy Spirit), and my cup ran dry.If we aren't continually filled, we have nothing to give.Here are the three most common "leaks":Priorities & Distraction: Like my story, work—or even "ministry"—can become an idol. When our schedule crowds out our intimacy, we lose our source.Unaddressed Sin: Scripture tells us in Isaiah 59:2 that sin creates a barrier. It's not that God leaves us, but sin muffles our ability to hear Him, making the season feel silent.Life Transitions: Sometimes, a sudden change—a move, a loss, a high-stress season—disrupts our rhythm. We are so busy adjusting to the "new" that we stop anchoring in the Eternal.But dryness isn't always the result of failure. Sometimes it is formation.Even Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (Matthew 4:1). The desert wasn't punishment—it was preparation.Silence does not equal absence.Stillness does not equal abandonment.Read the rest here: https://litwithprayer.substack.com/p/the-desert-and-the-fire-navigating
Natural Eye Care with Dr. Marc Grossman, Holistic Optometrist
Dry, gritty, or burning eyes don't have to be your “new normal.” We take a deep, practical look at hyaluronic acid—what it is, why your eyes love it, and how to use it—to bring real-world relief for dryness, irritation, and even contact lens discomfort. Drawing on decades of integrative eye care, we lay out clear steps for choosing the right eye drop strength, pairing topical relief with smart supplementation, and building meals that support your tear film and the vitreous.We break down the science in plain language: hyaluronic acid binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, stabilizes the tear film, cushions the ocular surface, and helps transport nutrients to the cornea and retina. You'll hear when to reach for 0.1% HA drops for mild dryness versus 0.4% for more severe symptoms, plus how 100–200 mg of oral HA can support systemic hydration across eyes, skin, and joints. If floaters or posterior vitreous detachment are on your mind, we explain why bone broth is a direct source of HA and collagen, and how plant-based options—soy, leafy greens, root vegetables, and citrus—can boost your body's own HA production.Food lovers and minimalists alike will find something to try today: simmered bone broth for 12–48 hours to extract HA, or a vegetarian miso broth with tofu, turmeric, garlic, and ginger for an anti-inflammatory lift. We also touch on simple add-ons like almonds for vitamin E and magnesium to support skin around the eyes and tear quality. By the end, you'll have a concise plan to hydrate your eyes, ease irritation, and protect long-term vision health with steps that fit your routine.If this podcast helps you see and feel better, follow the show, share it with someone who struggles with dry eyes, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find these natural eye care strategies.For more information, visit naturaleycare.com and drgrossman2020.comOur email address is info@naturaleycare.comIf you have any questions, call us at 845 475 4158.
OnThe New Stack Agents, Gavriel Cohen discusses why he built NanoClaw, a minimalist alternative to OpenClaw, after discovering security and architectural flaws in the rapidly growing agentic framework. Cohen, co-founder of AI marketing agencyQwibit, had been running agents across operations, sales, and research usingClaude Code. When Clawdbot (laterOpenClaw) launched, it initially seemed ideal. But Cohen grew concerned after noticing questionable dependencies—including his own outdated GitHub package—excessive WhatsApp data storage, a massive AI-generated codebase nearing 400,000 lines, and a lack of OS-level isolation between agents. In response, he createdNanoClawwith radical minimalism: only a few hundred core lines, minimal dependencies, and containerized agents. Built around Claude Code “skills,” NanoClaw enables modular, build-time integrations while keeping the runtime small enough to audit easily. Cohen argues AI changes coding norms—favoring duplication over DRY, relaxing strict file limits, and treating code as disposable. His goal is simple, secure infrastructure that enterprises can fully understand and trust.

The ninth of many from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan has another Kingston Black from Eve’s Cidery’s North Orchard. Eve’s Cidery North Orchard Kingston Black STYLE: Cider – Dry (single varietal)INGREDIENTS: Kingston Black apples from their North OrchardABV: 8.0%AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles (Limited)Stats above taken from the brewery’s bottle. Appearance Gorgeous, medium yellow/gold and very effervescent with small-bubble carbonation. Aroma Sweet and floral notes hit first with a hint of salinity and burst of fruit, which is similar but a little different from the previous Kingston Black ciders I’ve tasted. Taste Like other Kingston Black single varietals, there is some tartness mixed with earthy and herbal notes and a bready quality underlaying the sweet fruit on the mid-palate. Mouthfeel Pretty dry but delicate, with the small-bubble carbonation and a light-to medium body and mouthfeel. Overall I really love getting to taste different single varietals made of the same apple, as it really digs into the terroir where each one was grown as well as the cidermaker’s approach. Soft cheeses, salads, flatbreads would all be great, though it’s probably also so on its own. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

Episode 212: Managing HFpEFHyo Mun and Jordan Redden (medical students) explain how to manage HFpEF with medications and touch some basics about nonpharmacologic treatments. Dr. Arreaza asks insightful questions to guide the discussion. Written by Hyo Mun, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean; and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Treatment of HFpEFArreaza: Mike, if you had to name the one therapy everyone with HFpEF should be on, what is it?Mike: That's easy! SGLT-2 inhibitors. This is the one slam-dunk we have in HFpEF. Empagliflozin (Jardiance) or dapagliflozin (Farxiga) should be started in essentially every patient with HFpEF, and it doesn't matter if they have diabetes or not.Jordan: And that's worth repeating, because people still think of these as “diabetes drugs.” They're not anymore. In HFpEF, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce heart-failure hospitalizations, improve symptoms, improve quality of life, and even reduce cardiovascular death.Dr. Arreaza: They're also simple. Empagliflozin 10 mg daily or dapagliflozin 10 mg daily. No titration, no drama. The effectiveness of these meds was established around 2019 with DAPA-HF and later with DELIVER. These were trials thatdemonstrated that dapagliflozin reduces worsening heart failure and cardiovascular events across the full spectrum of heart failure, from reduced to preserved ejection fraction, independent of diabetes status.Mike: And the number needed to treat is about 28 to prevent one heart-failure hospitalization. That's excellent for a disease where we historically had almost nothing that worked.Jordan: They're also safe in chronic kidney disease down to an eGFR of about 25, which makes them even more useful in this population.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. We got SGLT-2 inhibitor, what's next?Mike: Volume management. Loop diuretics are still the backbone of symptom control in HFpEF. If the patient is volume overloaded, you diurese, and you diurese aggressively.Jordan: The goal is euvolemia. Dry weight, no edema, no orthopnea, no waking up gasping for air. A lot of these patients end up needing chronic oral loop diuretics to stay there.Dr. Arreaza: Something to remember: HFpEF patients don't tolerate congestion well, and being “a little wet” is not benign. Let's move into RAAS inhibition. Where do ARBs and ACE inhibitors fit in?Mike: Between ARBs and ACE inhibitors, ARBs are the winners in HFpEF. They actually reduce heart failure hospitalizations—drugs like candesartan, losartan, valsartan. ACE inhibitors? Not so much. They showed minimal benefit in older HFpEF patients, which is why we go with ARBs instead.Jordan: But a lot of clinicians get nervous about ACE inhibitors and ARBs because of kidney function, so it's worth talking through how these drugs actually work in the kidney.Dr. Arreaza: Yes, misunderstanding may lead to unnecessary drug discontinuation.Jordan: Under normal conditions, the afferent arteriole brings blood into the glomerulus, and the efferent arteriole is constricted by angiotensin II. That constriction keeps pressure high in the glomerulus and maintains filtration.Mike: Here's what happens with an ACE inhibitor: you block angiotensin II, the efferent arteriole relaxes, glomerular pressure drops, and GFR dips slightly. Creatinine bumps up a little, and that scares people, but that's actually the whole point—that's how you get kidney protection long-term.Jordan: High intraglomerular pressure causes hyperfiltration injury and scarring over time. Lowering that pressure protects the kidney long-term. The short-term GFR drop is the price you pay for long-term benefits.Dr. Arreaza: So let's talk about CKD, because this is where people panic.Mike: Right. ACE inhibitors and ARBs are not contraindicated in chronic kidney disease. In fact, they're recommended even in advanced stages. They reduce progression to kidney failure by about a third.Jordan: The key is how you use them. Start low. Check creatinine and potassium one to two weeks after starting, then periodically. A creatinine rise up to 30% from baseline is acceptable. That's not kidney injury, that's physiology.Dr. Arreaza: And what about potassium creeping up?Mike: You adjust the dose or add a potassium binder. You don't just automatically stop the drug.Dr. Arreaza: Now there is one absolute contraindication everyone needs to know about! (board exam test)Jordan: Bilateral renal artery stenosis. This is the big one. In these patients, the kidneys are completely dependent on angiotensin II–mediated efferent constriction to maintain GFR. Take that away, and GFR collapses.Mike: Creatinine can jump dramatically within days. If you see a creatinine rise of 20% or more shortly after starting an ACE inhibitor, you should be thinking about bilateral renal artery stenosis and stopping the drug immediately.Dr. Arreaza: After revascularization, though, many patients can tolerate ACE inhibitors again, so this isn't always permanent. What about cardiorenal syndrome? That's where things get uncomfortable.Mike: It is uncomfortable, but cardiorenal syndrome isn't a contraindication. These patients have severe heart failure and kidney disease, and their mortality is actually higher than patients with heart failure alone.Jordan: ACE inhibitors still reduce mortality and slow kidney disease progression in this group. Studies show that stopping ACE inhibitors during acute heart-failure admissions increases in-hospital mortality three- to four-fold.Dr. Arreaza: So we are cautious, but we don't avoid it.Mike: Exactly. Start low, titrate slowly, monitor labs closely, accept up to a 30% creatinine rise. You only stop if kidney function keeps worsening, or potassium gets dangerously high.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. Let's move on. What about mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists… MRA?Jordan: Spironolactone or eplerenone might reduce hospitalizations in HFpEF, but the data is mixed. This is more of a “select patients” situation.Mike: And you have to watch potassium and kidney function carefully, especially if they're already on an ACE inhibitor or ARB.Dr. Arreaza: What about sacubitril-valsartan, also known as Entresto®?Mike: Entresto may help patients with mildly reduced EF roughly in the 45 to 57% range. It's not first-line for HFpEF, but in select patients, it's reasonable.Dr. Arreaza: Now let's clarify one of the biggest sources of confusion: beta blockers.Jordan: Beta blockers are not a treatment for HFpEF itself. They're only indicated if the patient has another reason to be on them, like coronary disease or atrial fibrillation.Mike: And timing really matters here. You absolutely do not start beta blockers during acute decompensated heart failure. Their negative inotropic effects can make things worse when patients are volume overloaded.Jordan: But, and this is critical, you also don't stop them if the patient is already taking one. Abrupt withdrawal causes a sympathetic surge and dramatically increases mortality.Dr. Arreaza: If a patient is admitted on a beta blocker, what do we do?Mike: Continue it at the same dose or reduce it slightly if they're really unstable. Once they're euvolemic and stable, you can carefully titrate up.Jordan: And watch for chronotropic incompetence. HFpEF patients often rely on heart-rate response to exercise, and beta blockers can worsen exercise intolerance.Dr. Arreaza: Beyond medications, HFpEF is really about treating comorbidities. Aerobic activity can be an initial strategy to improve exercise intolerance and has evidence of improving aerobic function and quality of life. Sodium restriction: improves symptoms, does not decrease risk of death or hospitalizations.Mike: Hypertension control is huge. For diabetes, the SGLT-2 inhibitors will perform double duty. For obesity, weight loss improves symptoms, and GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide are absolute gamechangers.Jordan: Don't forget sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and lifestyle. Exercise improves the quality of life, even if it doesn't change hard outcomes. Lifestyle is the main treatment. Dr. Arreaza: And when should you refer to cardiology?Mike: You should refer when the diagnosis isn't clear; symptoms are not responding to treatment, difficult volume management, end-organ dysfunction, or if you are concerned about advanced heart failure.Dr. Arreaza: So, it has been a great discussion. What is the takeaway?Mike: HFpEF treatment isn't about one magic drug -- it's about volume control, SGLT2 inhibitors, smart use of RAAS blockade, and aggressive management of comorbidities.Jordan: And it's understanding the physiology, so you don't withhold life-saving therapies out of fear.Dr. Arreaza: Well said. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend or colleague and rate us wherever you listen. This is Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Jordan/Mike: Thanks!

Think evaporation lowers cyanuric acid? Think again. We open the cover on persistent pool myths with help from the late Bob Lowry's clear, data-driven explanations, and show how small assumptions can create big chemistry problems over a season.First, we break down why CYA never leaves with evaporation—only pure water does. That means every trichlor tablet quietly stacks CYA week after week, often hitting 100 to 150 ppm in a single swimming season. We compare sanitizer byproducts in plain terms: trichlor and dichlor raise CYA, liquid chlorine nudges TDS via salt, and cal hypo increases calcium. You'll hear practical numbers you can use on route, like how a gallon of liquid chlorine typically adds around 20 to 30 ppm salt depending on pool size, and how 65 percent cal hypo can add about 7 ppm calcium for every 10 ppm of free chlorine delivered.Then we shift to acids. Muriatic acid remains the straightforward choice for lowering pH and alkalinity without adding sulfate. Dry acid, while convenient, introduces sulfate that can accumulate and lead to calcium sulfate scale—harder to remove than calcium carbonate and invisible to the LSI you rely on. We also cover why dry acid needs airtight storage due to deliquescence, how to approach dosing when total alkalinity runs high, and why older warnings about dry acid and salt systems don't reflect current understanding, even if they persist in some manuals.By the end, you'll know how to choose the chlorine and acid strategy that fits your climate, hardness, and maintenance plan. • evaporation removes only pure water, not CYA• trichlor adds 6 ppm CYA per 10 ppm chlorine• CYA rises 25 ppm per month at common usage• water loss from draining or splash removes CYA• liquid chlorine adds modest salt and TDS• all chlorine types end as part of TDS• cal hypo adds about 7 ppm calcium per 10 ppm FC• dry acid introduces sulfate and hidden scale risk• calcium sulfate scale does not show on LSI• dry acid is deliquescent and needs tight storage• high alkalinity often nSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

If you think home improvement is stressful, wait until someone drops a porta potty in your neighbor's driveway and suddenly it's a lifestyle. On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, what starts as innocent talk about retaining walls and contractor bids quickly devolves into speculation about construction crews, public bathrooms, and how long “temporary” really means.Then — because chaos demands structure — the crew launches into a matchup trivia game that absolutely no one is emotionally prepared for. Learn, Moon, Rafe, and King Scott put their pride on the line answering questions that sound easy but immediately expose how little we all truly know. Silly Putty history? Betrayal. Hollywood sign facts? Pain. The world's hottest pepper? Apparently negotiable depending on Rizz's mood that day.This funny podcast delivers everything you expect from The Rizzuto Show: loud confidence, wrong answers, passionate arguments about chef hats, and at least one perfect game being retroactively destroyed for no reason other than vibes. Dry ice breaks brains, horses become biological mysteries, and the Titanic's depth turns into a full-on debate nobody studied for.If you love daily chaos, questionable facts, and a funny podcast that feels like hanging out with friends who should not be trusted with trivia questions — you're in the right place. This episode is peak Rizz Show energy: sarcastic, self-aware, and absolutely unhinged in the most lovable way possible.Listen, laugh, yell at your speakers, and remember: confidence matters more than accuracy on this funny podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Skellig Michael rises straight out of the Atlantic, jagged and dramatic, and according to archaeologist Neil Jackman, it's every bit as challenging as it looks. Visiting this remote Kerry island can be an extraordinary experience – but only if travelers understand what's involved before they try. Visiting Skellig Michael: What Travelers Need to Know Clochans on Skellig MichaelImage provided by Tuatha; used with permission This article is based on podcast episode 325 featuring archaeologist Neil Jackman, director of Abarta Heritage and Tuatha. Neil is a returning guest – listen to his episode about Ireland's Ancient East.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Where the Skellig Islands Are and Why They're So Unforgettable The Skellig Islands sit about 12 kilometers (8 miles) off the coast of County Kerry, beyond the Skellig Ring. Skellig Michael is the larger of the two, shaped like a steep stone pyramid rising from the ocean. From viewpoints along the Ring of Kerry, it's striking – but being out on the water brings its scale and isolation into sharp focus. Neil describes it as a place that doesn't quite belong to the modern world, and that sense of otherworldliness is part of what makes the islands so compelling. The Monastery at the Edge of the Atlantic Skellig Michael's fame isn't just about scenery. The island is home to an early medieval monastery, likely founded in the 7th century by monks seeking complete isolation for spiritual devotion. With no deserts in Ireland, remote Atlantic islands became places of withdrawal and focus. The monastery complex includes: Dry-stone beehive huts (clocháns) Oratories and outdoor altars A burial area and stone crosses Ingenious rainwater collection systems All of it was built without mortar, relying entirely on carefully balanced stone. The site later endured Viking raids, was rededicated to St. Michael the Archangel, and eventually abandoned as a permanent settlement—though it never lost its importance as a place of pilgrimage. Little Skellig: The Island You Can't Visit Beside Skellig Michael is Little Skellig, dramatically steeper and even more inhospitable. Today it's a protected bird sanctuary, home to tens of thousands of gannets, and landing is not permitted. While archaeologists believe it would be surprising if Little Skellig was completely unused in the past, modern visitors experience it only from the water – where its scale and wildlife are still jaw-dropping. When Skellig Michael Can Be Visited Access to Skellig Michael is extremely limited. The landing season generally runs from late April or early May through September, and even then, weather plays the deciding role. Roughly one-third of scheduled trips are canceled each year. Calm conditions on shore don't guarantee a landing; the swell at the island's pier must be minimal, and conditions can change quickly. Neil stresses that flexibility is essential. Neil Jackman at the monastery of Skellig Michaelimage provide by Neil; used with permission Booking Tips From Someone Who's Been There Demand for Skellig Michael has increased dramatically, and visitor numbers are tightly controlled for safety and preservation. What travelers should know: Landing permits sell out quickly Staying near Portmagee or Valentia Island improves your chances of last-minute openings Planning multiple days in the area gives you flexibility if weather cancels your trip There's no foolproof strategy – just patience, preparation, and backup plans. What a Landing Trip Is Really Like A landing trip typically includes a 45–55 minute boat ride each way, often rough even on decent days. Once ashore, visitors have several hours on the island – but the physical challenge comes fast. The climb to the monastery involves 618 steep stone steps, with no handrails and narrow sections where people pass in both directions. Neil's practical advice: Skip walking sticks; you need free hands for balance Anyone uncomfortable with heights should think carefully before starting the climb You don't need to be an athlete, but a reasonable level of fitness matters Take breaks – there are natural resting points along the way There is now a single toilet facility near the landing area, but queues form quickly. Puffins, Gannets, and Wildlife Encounters From April through early July, Skellig Michael is home to thousands of puffins, nesting right beside the steps. They're remarkably unfazed by visitors and are a highlight for many travelers. Gannets dominate the skies year-round, and crossings sometimes include sightings of dolphins or whales. Later in the season, the puffins are gone, but the atmosphere of the island remains just as powerful. Eco Tours: A Worthwhile Alternative For those who can't land – or choose not to – eco tours circle Skellig Michael and Little Skellig without docking. These trips focus on: Wildlife viewing Sea cliffs and island scale Close views of both Skelligs from the water Eco tours are a strong option for families with younger children or travelers uneasy with heights. Just remember that you remain on the boat for the entire trip, which can be challenging for anyone prone to seasickness.

His work helps communities protect historic places while making them more meaningful and accessible to visitors. Neil is also behind Tuatha, a membership-based resource for travelers and Ireland enthusiasts. Tuatha offers heritage-focused itineraries, in-depth articles, expert-led online talks, and courses covering Irish archaeology, history, and genealogy. Many resources are designed to help travelers turn canceled plans – like a missed Skellig landing – into deeply rewarding days on the mainland. Tuatha on Facebook & Instagram Sign up for the free Monument Monday newsletter Three Places to Visit Along the Ring of Kerry (Beyond the Skelligs) When asked to narrow down must-see spots along the Ring of Kerry, Neil admits it's nearly impossible—but a few places consistently stand out. Valentia Island Tetrapod Trackway On Valentia Island, visitors can see 380-million-year-old fossilized footprints left by some of the earliest vertebrates to walk on land. There's no visitor center or flashy display – just a simple sign and one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world. Loher Stone Fort Loher is one of the best-preserved stone ring forts in Kerry. Massive stone walls, a dramatic setting, and a strong sense of place make it a standout stop for travelers interested in early settlement and defense. Ballinskelligs Priory and St. Michael's Holy Well Closely connected to Skellig Michael's story, Ballinskelligs Priory on the mainland was founded by monks who left the island. Nearby, St. Michael's Holy Well (Tobar Mhichíl) is a small, atmospheric site that ties the island monastery back into the surrounding landscape. Add in beaches, coastal walks, and a stop along the Skellig Ring, and it's easy to see why this part of Kerry rewards travelers who give it time.

In this episode, we share multiple presentations given by Paul Stamets, a leading mycologist and advocate for the medicinal use of fungi. He delves into the transformative potential of psychedelics, mycology, and their implications for healing and environmental restoration. Paul shares insights from his extensive research and experiences, including his work on the documentary Fantastic Fungi and his passion for uncovering the intelligence of nature through mushrooms. He discusses the remarkable capabilities of various fungi, from their medicinal properties to their role in ecological balance, and highlights the urgent need for a paradigm shift in our understanding and use of these powerful organisms. Support the Podcast via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LBGXTRM292TFC&source=url And psychedelics have entered the zeitgeist. Although illegal as a Schedule I drug in much of the United States and beyond, two states have approved use of psilocybin mushrooms in therapeutic settings, and many more states are reviewing their policies. Schedule I drugs are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse or drugs with no recognized medical uses. However, psilocybin mushrooms have had numerous medicinal and religious uses in dozens of cultures throughout history and let's face it, mushrooms are not addictive. Paul Stamets is one of the leading advocates worldwide for opening up the possibility of legalizing. Paul introduces listeners to several key mushroom species, and beyond psychedelics they have important medical and therapeutic uses in treatment of diseases. He emphasizes the importance of integrating Indigenous knowledge with modern science, revealing how traditional practices can inform and enhance our approach to health and wellness. With a focus on the potential of psilocybin mushrooms to address mental health challenges and promote community healing, Paul inspires hope for a future where fungi play a crucial role in both personal and planetary health.

Well hello there, neighbors. Fred Talley here with Faith Pest Control. If you're reading this, chances are you just walked into your kitchen to make a cup of coffee and found a black ribbon of ants marching across your granite countertops like they own the place. Believe me, I know that “sinking feeling” in your gut when you realize your home has been breached. Up here in Jasper—from the Foothills to Big Canoe—we deal with everything from tiny little Odorous House Ants (those are the ones that smell like rotten coconuts when you squish ’em) to the big, wood-destroying Carpenter Ants. Before you go grabbing that can of yellow spray from the hardware store, let's talk about how to handle this the right way. 1. Identify the Target Not all ants are created equal. If you see big, beefy black ants hanging out near windowsills or damp wood, you might have a Carpenter Ant issue, which can actually hurt the structure of your home. If they're teeny-tiny and heading straight for the sugar bowl, they're likely just looking for a snack. Knowing who you're fighting helps us know how to win. 2. Resist the Urge to Spray This is the hardest piece of advice to follow. When you see ants, you want them dead now. But if you use a “repellent” spray (the kind that kills on contact), you might actually make the problem worse. Many ants, especially Fire Ants or Argentine Ants, react to sprays by “budding.” They sense the danger, panic, and the colony splits into three or four new colonies to survive. You might kill fifty ants today, but you’ve just guaranteed five hundred more next week. 3. The “Clean and Clear” Method While you wait for professional help, do these three things: Wipe the trails: Ants leave behind invisible “scent trails” (pheromones) so their buddies can follow them. Use soapy water or a vinegar solution to wipe down the area and break the trail. Dry it up: Ants aren’t just hungry; they're thirsty. Fix that leaky faucet and wipe the condensation off the bottom of the fridge. Seal the snacks: Put the cereal in Tupperware and make sure the pet food isn’t sitting out overnight. 4. Look Outside the Box (Literally) Most ant problems in Georgia start outside. Take a walk around your foundation. Are there tree limbs touching your roof? That's an ant highway. Is the pine straw piled up six inches deep against your siding? That's an ant hotel. Keeping your mulch a few inches away from the foundation can do wonders for keeping the critters out. Why “Faith” Matters in Pest Control At the end of the day, you want someone you can trust in your home. That's why we do what we do. We don’t just “spray and pray”—we look for the nest, we use professional baits that the ants take back to the queen, and we make sure the job is done right the first time. If you're tired of sharing your kitchen with six-legged roommates, give us a holler. We'll get you back to living in a pest-free home, just the way it ought to be.The post A Jasper Homeowner's Guide to the Ant Invasion first appeared on Faith Pest Control.
In this episode host, Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS speaks with Chris McElderry, PT, DPT, NCS about how dry needling can be used in neuro rehab, particularly for people post-stroke. Chris explains why he pursued dry needling, how using it in PT differs from acupuncture, and walks through what a typical session looks like, including safety, side effects, and billing considerations. He shares clinical examples of using dry needling to address spasticity, hypertonicity, pain, and range of motion limitations, and discusses current research on short-term effects for spasticity and pain reduction. Erin and Chris also clarify the differences between spasticity and hypertonicity, touch on contracture management, and highlight where dry needling can be a useful adjunct—not a standalone cure—in helping neuro clients move and feel better.

In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by Dr. Eric Singman, a neuro-ophthalmologist who lives at the intersection of the eyes, the brain, and the complex symptoms so many people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome experience. They dig into why EDS patients often struggle with vision even when everything looks “normal,” why convergence problems and visual fatigue are so common, and how conditions like POTS, mast cell activation, Chiari malformation, and cervical instability quietly affect how we see. They also talk about dry eye, visual snow, glare sensitivity, elevated intracranial pressure without papilledema, and why so many EDS patients are sent down expensive treatment paths that may not actually help. This conversation is part science, part myth-busting, and part reality check for anyone who's been told their symptoms don't make sense. If you've ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed by eye and vision issues in connective tissue disorders, this one's for you. Takeaways: Normal eye exams don't mean your vision problem isn't real, especially for people with EDS. Many vision symptoms in EDS are collateral damage, not primary eye disease. Convergence issues are often blamed, but fatigue, cognition, and neck instability may be the real drivers. Dry eye in EDS is more complex than “use drops”, especially with mast cell involvement. The neck may be the missing piece in vision, brain fog, headaches, and reading difficulty. Find the episode transcript here.
